RCMP divers have recovered the body of a man reported missing in a pond on the Northern Peninsula.

The man and a woman were riding a Sea-Doo on Gull Pond, near St. Lunaire-Griquet, Sunday night.

Somehow both of them ended up in the water, with the woman able to swim to shore.

The man, however, could not be found, with police responding to the scene along with members of the St. Anthony and St. Lunaire-Griquet volunteer fire departments.

Police confirmed in a news release around lunchtime today that the man’s body had been found.

Neither the man nor the woman were wearing life jackets.
